At Last, You Rest

Through visions and dreams and
words that rhyme,
You opened the door and gave
us the sign-
It was our time to release the maternal hand,
and return you to God's beautiful land-
From ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
without hesitation,
our grieving hearts stand just-

We kept our promise that
you would rest-
at Cedar Lake at the water's crest;
Tears still fell as the wind caught your spirit,
and carried it away; your sweet voice,
-we could hear it-
As time goes by, we'll visit you there,
you and Dad and the love you share-
The waiting has passed, two souls rejoined,
in eternal peace, on a warm March day-
At last you rest upon the shores,
to catch the fish that got away
